That is where I draw the line though - straight scarves.<br /><br />Well done with making a hat - you are much cleverer than me - I only admire crochet from afar.Claire - Matching Pegshttp://www.matchingpegs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-29297625514270087302010-07-08T10:30:43.375+10:002010-07-08T10:30:43.375+10:00Just so thrilled about his little affair. xJust so thrilled about his little affair. xKirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628893711657037244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-1646931370230025572010-07-07T18:57:58.953+10:002010-07-07T18:57:58.953+10:00It's the cold weather makes us do it!

Now I find both can be incredibly relaxing (or incredibly frustrating, depending on the number of small helping hands about, or number of dropped stitches!) Both are quite sociable and portable crafts as well :)Melaniehttp://www.sugarlemon.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-65313509849167857212010-07-07T15:00:56.191+10:002010-07-07T15:00:56.191+10:00I too blame some talented bloggers for setting me ...I too blame some talented bloggers for setting me on the path to ruin...er...I...mean distraction...I have far too many quilts-in-waiting, yet all I'm doing is knitting.quilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02054912539054163241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-53637732192604570672010-07-07T14:49:36.241+10:002010-07-07T14:49:36.241+10:00Rather impressive for someone with 'basic'...Rather impressive for someone with 'basic' skills!!

I was always begging her to do stuff with me!<br /><br />I think she'll have very fond memories of her childhood :)<br /><br />Anyway, enjoy the knitting and knotting - you'll have some lovely winter woolies at the end!ambettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372847527300642851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-79477447563411535862010-07-07T11:27:45.690+10:002010-07-07T11:27:45.690+10:00There's really no stopping you is there!

In fact my daughter wants me to teach her how to crochet and I have been avoiding it because 2 minutes will be all she is capable of and I will be the one starting up and I HAVE NO ROOM IN THE SEWING ROOM FOR ANOTHER HOBBY...drawing a big fat line in the sand here.seabreezequiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05210564993790938890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1100500218153792090.post-69802050375988445852010-07-07T03:42:36.420+10:002010-07-07T03:42:36.420+10:00If you're a beginner, I may as well just give ...If you're a beginner, I may as well just give up trying to crochet!!
